Backing Up W/out Ftp?
« on: August 17, 2003, 05:49:00 PM »

I'm new to modding, and I've figured out how to back up games through FTP, but I just installed a chip for my friend, and he's really computer illiterate!  Is there away to rip games off the DVD to back them up?  I've been looking around, and I can't find any info.

So there is no way to rip a game directly from the DVD-ROM to the HD?  I swear my friend said he can do that.

Thanks a lot man!  Do I need them all, or just one of them?  If just one, which do you recommend?

With boxplorer, can you view the contents of each partition?  That would be very useful!  I did DL XBcopy, however, and it's nice and simple.

i recommend HDD Loader. some games don't seem to work correctly using HBCopy, but HDD Loader works like a charm.

dvd2xbox is what I use.

HDDloader is too proprietary, you cannot choose where you want your files to go, the just go where they want them to go.  No good.

I would use boxplorer or dvd2xbox.  try them both see what you like better.  I've used boxplorer for about 30 games, managing my folders, etc and no problems.
